The two women came to the bathroom together. Luo Xiaoqian was busy taking a tissue to wipe her face, but Xu Pei raised his hand to block her palm. He took the tissue and dipped it in cold water and gently iced his forehead, raising his face.
Look at Luo Xiaoqian in the mirror.
"You're living together, right?"
"Well..." Luo Xiaoqian nodded first, then waved her hands in a panic, "No... no..."
"I'm joking with you, but this kind of thing is normal."
Xu Pei lowered her face, her tone was calm and refreshing, but the palm of her hand holding the tissue suddenly tightened, and the water-stained tissue immediately deformed in her hand.
Luo Xiaoqian smiled dryly, "If you feel uncomfortable, why not go home first, it will be better if you take a nap."
When Xu Pei straightened up again, his expression had returned to normal.
The two of them returned to the private room again. Leng Zimo had already paid the bill. When he saw the two of them walking in, he immediately stood up and handed Xu Pei's bag to her.
"Where do you live, at home or in a hotel?"
Xu Pei did not accept the package, "I'm going back to the lakeside villa, and you happened to be on my way."
"I have been living in World City recently." Leng Zimo presented the bag in his hand to her again, "Xiao Ding is already downstairs, ask him to deliver it to you."
Xu Pei took her bag and asked, "Do you still have programs?"
Leng Zimo smiled faintly, "Keep it secret!"
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that if you don't have anything very important, I want to talk to you about something serious." Xu Pei shrugged, "I have resigned from my position in the United States and want to come back for development."
A flash of surprise flashed in Leng Zimo's eyes, "Why, didn't you always say you like the atmosphere there before?"
"Don't you want me to come back?" Xu Pei asked with a smile.
"Of course not." Leng Zimo hugged Luo Xiaoqian's waist next to him, "We will have a good talk tomorrow."
There was an obvious element of rejection in his tone, and Xu Pei did not persist.
The three of them went downstairs together, and Xiao Ding picked up Xu Pei's luggage from Leng Zimo's car. After watching the two of them leave, Leng Zimo drove the car into the driveway.
"What to eat?"
"Didn't we just have dinner?"
"You only ate less than ten bites of food, one meatball, and less than half a cup of soy milk. I know you weren't full."
Luo Xiaoqian was stunned on the chair. He... hadn't he been chatting with Xu Pei? How could he be so clear about it?
"You little idiot!" Leng Zimo looked at her apologetically, "Do you think I forgot about having dinner with you?"
"No, I just..." Luo Xiaoqian played with the seat belt, "I just don't like eating this."
"The ears are red." He reminded softly.
Luo Xiaoqian pursed her lips, "Have you and Xu Pei... known each other for a long time?"
"Her dad and my dad have been good friends for many years. I've known her since she was born..." Leng Zimo suddenly stopped mid-sentence, glanced at Luo Xiaoqian in the passenger seat, and burst into a rare laugh.
Voice.
Luo Xiaoqian looked at the bright smile on his face in confusion, "Is my question ridiculous?!"
Leng Zimo glanced at the rearview mirror, suddenly turned the car out of the driveway, stopped on the side of the road, put on the handbrake, turned to her, raised his hand and pointed at himself.
"Do you look at me as if I'm making fun of you?"
Luo Xiaoqian looked at his face carefully. From the corners of his lips to the tips of his eyebrows, and then to his eyes, there was a smile. That smile was definitely not teasing, but seemed to have encountered something very happy, and she felt it from the bottom of her heart.
